NFL Week 7

Its week 7 already and so far and all we have figured out so far is that Tennessee is good, and Detroit is bad. The rest is still very obviously up for grabs.

Tony Romo is back maybe from the broken pinkie injury that was supposed to keep him out 4 weeks. There were a lot of people, Brett Favre included, that called him out and made it seem like 4 weeks was way too many and that he shouldn't even really miss a start.

I actually disagree with everyone who is calling him out. Brett Favre is a freak in a sense of playing so many games in a row. I am sure he has dealt with something like this but every individual can deal with things in their own way. If Favre can play with an injury like that, that's incredible. We have seen Brett do some crazy things and that's what makes him great. I believe Romo is seriously feeling this injury and really doesn't want to play.

I think, right now Romo really isn't sure and that is no way to play in the NFL. Its not like the Cowboys were going to be playing some hard teams. This week is St. Louis. Maybe Romo is afraid of injuring it worse and that's why he doesn't want to play. Whatever the case may be, he obviously isn't confident or comfortable with it right now, so I really think it would be wise for him not to give into all of the criticism and take at least one week off.

My picking skills aren't as good as they once were but that isn't going to stop me from trying. Here we go again!

Tennessee @ Kansas City

San Diego @ Buffalo

Pittsburgh @ Cincinnati

Baltimore @ Miami

Dallas @ St. Louis

Minnesota @ Chicago

New Orleans @ Carolina

San Francisco @ NY Giants

Detroit @ Houston

NY Jets @ Oakland

Cleveland @ Washington

Indianapolis @ Green Bay

Seattle @ Tampa Bay

Denver @ New England

I picked half the visiting teams today. What am I thinking? After last week though, who really knows anything anymore. The one sure thing I would give you is that Tampa is going to blow out Seattle. Other then that, I am like Tony Romo, (no, I am not dating Jessica Simpson, although I wish) I am just not confident anymore.
